Territory Fusion

It looks like an ancient wooden dummy, driven by a formation and constantly rotating.

Trainees must constantly move and deal with attacks from all directions while also counterattacking their targets.

In addition to the wooden dummy for close combat training, there are also moving archery targets for long-range training, where trainees need to accurately hit the target with bows and arrows or even spells from a distance of tens or hundreds of meters.

Name: Training Ground Level: Level 1 Building (Upgradeable)

Location: Dungeon Range: 200 square meters Effect: [Focus] Maintains constant focus; unit training efficiency +200%

Introduction: Strengthen your muscles and bones, temper your will, sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime. Lin Xu's eyes lit up. "This is real good stuff!"

Melee combat, ranged combat, and even offensive spells can all be trained here, with a 3x training effect bonus. Coupled with ample food and a rest area for rapid recovery, he has already figured out how to combine these three buildings.

"We must open a passage to the surface as soon as possible." He looked at the thick layers of earth and opened a portal.

Soon, more than twenty guardians, including Liu Jiayao, arrived.

"Lord Dao!" The protectors bowed in unison.

"This will be your residence for the foreseeable future. I have prepared a specific training syllabus for you; follow the plan!"

Lin Xu relayed the relevant plan to the protectors. The training outline was very simple, which could be summarized as: wake up, eat, and continue training after eating.

"Yes, Dao Master!"

Without any complaints, the guardians immediately entered the training ground and began training.

The sounds of clashing weapons and exploding spells filled the air, and with their focused state, the guardians' training efficiency increased significantly.

Lin Xu sat cross-legged beside the Dungeon Heart, refining his magical power while keeping an eye on the training progress of the guardians.

As expected, with the blessing of the training ground, the protectors' training results were amazing.

With ample food supplies and quick sleep and recovery in the rest area, they are able to train at high intensity for 15 hours a day.

Hours.

"At this rate, it will only take about a week to raise basic combat skills to expert level or above----"

After verifying the effectiveness, Lin Xu silently planned to send all the troops in his territory, including the militia, into the underground city for a period of closed training. "However, we still need to establish a connection with the surface."

While Lin Xu was hiding in the cave directing the construction of the underground city, a massive cleanup operation was also underway on the surface.

The wild monsters that spawned due to the insufficient military strength of Xuanwei Monastery were doomed. With the support of the Evil Eye in the sky, including Daoist soldiers and militia, they once again ransacked the territory of Azure Cloud Mountain.

Previously, Lin Xu was merely the head of the Incense Offering Hall, and being outside the official position, he could ignore the chaotic traffic under the Xuanwei Monastery Temple's jurisdiction. But now that this place was his own territory, he certainly wouldn't allow the situation to continue to deteriorate.

The first step in sweeping through the territory was to deploy troops based in the Daoist temple and five villages, radiating outwards from these areas, and building a small outpost every two or three miles.

Using Daoist magic, the soil was transformed into rock, and within just a few hours, a watchtower five or six meters high was formed.

These outposts can only house a dozen or so people at most, and they are built in places with a clear view, where the surrounding situation can be clearly seen with the naked eye.

A disciple from the outer sect led a militia team to patrol the area. Once they spotted a large group of monsters, they could use a communication talisman to call for backup.

Combat teams, including inner disciples and Dao soldiers, can launch attacks at any time from nearby locations.

With the addition of the patrolling Evil Eye from the sky, the vast territory returned to normal in just a few days.

Meanwhile, Lin Xu began preparing for the next important matter – upgrading the Xuanwei Monastery!

"After becoming the abbot of Xuanwei Monastery, I can indeed upgrade my territory..." Lin Xu looked at the upgrade panel flashing on his Territory Panel with delight.

When Lin Xu returned to the Xuanwei Monastery territory before, he saw the territory upgrade option, but he hadn't had time to finish organizing the temple or clearing out the monsters on the ground, so he had to put it aside for the time being.

But now that everything is settled, it's time to upgrade the territory.

"Upgrade!" he murmured to himself.

Within the vision of the Spirit Eye Technique, large Source Fire burned fiercely and vanished into thin air.

In the reserves section, the original nearly 20,000 units of Source Fire reserves have quietly decreased to a few thousand points. The Xuanwei Monastery Territory far surpasses the Azure Cloud Cave Abode in both area and resources, and even the Source Fire consumed for upgrading the territory has increased tenfold!

At this moment, the mist surrounding Xuanwei Monastery rapidly receded, revealing the barren landscape.

Centered on the Xuanwei Monastery, the entire territory was experiencing micro-earthquakes, which were spreading outwards.

"The Spirit Vein are also extending?" Lin Xu's gaze shifted from the ground to the earth, and his authority as a lord allowed him to clearly see everything that was happening deep within the earth.

Under the influence of an unseen force, the tranquil Earth Vein are extending and expanding, spreading waves of energy and forming seismic waves that affect the entire territory.

The scene of Azure Cloud Mountain's upgrade has reappeared, with the Earth Vein rapidly extending and expanding under the influence of an invisible force.

But this time was different; with the blessing of authority, he clearly sensed the unusual activity within the Dungeon Heart.

The three Spirit Vein directly connected to the City Heart are growing rapidly under the influence of an invisible force, like the roots of a tree, extending and expanding throughout the entire territory.

He could clearly feel that, thanks to the blessing of the Dungeon Heart, the growth rate of the Earth Vein was exceeding the norm.

Just as the universal ascension of the territory was about to end and the invisible power from the depths of the Spirit Realm was dissipating, two more miniature Spirit Vein formed within the territory.

"Now there are five Spirit Vein— " Lin Xu looked at the long, dragon-like Spirit Vein deep in the earth, which connected the entire territory like a net, and his heart was filled with joy.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a strange tremor came, waking him from his joy.

Subconsciously looking toward the unusual place, they saw that the territory extending outward from Peach Tree Village was in direct contact with the territory of Azure Cloud Mountain!

Suddenly, a message flashed through my mind. "Two territories have been detected to be connected. Merge?"

Lin Xu suddenly realized. "So the two Spirit Realm realms can merge and merge with each other!"

It was only at this moment that he realized that the two territories, which were originally more than ten miles apart, were now almost touching. The location of the Spirit Realm territories was constantly changing. He had not been very clear about this before, but now that he saw the change in the distance between the two territories, he realized that the relative positions of the two territories had been shortened so much without him noticing!

Which territory is the primary focus?

At that moment, new information popped up.
